Eurovision 2019 favourites KEiiNO have released their debut album, OKTA, on the weekend that the 2020 edition was due to take place.
The Norwegian trio finished in sixth place at the 2019 contest, despite being clear winners of the public vote with their Sami-tinged electropop banger 'Spirit in the Sky'.
The new 10-track record includes six of their previously-released singles and features a duet with Electric Fields - runners-up at Australia Decides in 2019.
Marking the release in a post on Instagram, the band wrote: "Today is a dream come true. After our first studio session, I think we all hoped for this day. An ALBUM-release, and we are beyond proud!
"OKTA is a manifestation that joik and pop belong together, and that indigenous music can reach a broad audience. Because of you, the people that have voted for us, streamed and bought our songs since Spirit in the Sky, we have been able to make this record."
